Daniel H. Scheible geht auf Basis der empirischen Untersuchung eines Trainingsprogramms für Fach- und Führungskräfte der Frage nach, in wieweit interkulturelle Trainings tatsächlich in der Lage sind, interkulturelle Kompetenz bei den trainierten Mitarbeitern zu fördern.Intercultural training programs for specialists and executive staff have the goal to develop intercultural competence and thus to increase the efficiency of coordination processes over geographical and cultural distances.

At the same time it becomes evident, that the process of intercultural learning requires intensive reflection and that the accompanying relatives of the trainees have to be included more than has been common practice up to now
